•  It is important to ensure that service user and/or staff information is not discussed in
                   inappropriate areas where it is likely to be overheard including conversations and telephone
                   calls.

               Particular care should be taken in areas where the public may have access – for example a customer,
               client or supplier’s representative allowed to wait behind the counter to meet a member of the
               management team.

               Never leave information/data unattended in company vans or private cars

                   •  Staff must not leave laptops/portable electronic devices and/or files containing personal
                   •  information unattended in cars.
                   •  All files and portable equipment must be stored securely. If files containing personal
                       information must be transported in a car, they should be locked securely in the boot for the
                       minimum period necessary.

               3.17.3 How long does the Company keep personal information?

               some cases there are legal requirements to keep data for a minimum period. Unless specific legal
               requirements dictate otherwise, the Company will retain information no longer than is necessary for
